I don't know where you guys are getting this idea that a split and a simple clutch replacement is such a big job that nobody wants to tackle.
That's bread and butter to a repair shop. Most open station tractors, a mediochre mechanic can have it apart and back together in less than a day. All you need is a good floor, a good floor jack, plenty of wooden cribbing, and the right wrenches. To make the job easier and safer, even the crudest splitting stands which you can make out of a couple of pieces of C-channel or square tube with no welding required, will be a big help.
What you've got to get out of your head is that these places are just sitting around waiting for you to call. They have other customers, and probably a shop full of work.

Nobody wants to deal with a difficult customer, so if that's even remotely a possibility, you may need to go to one of these mechanics, hat in hand and say "look I know I've been difficult in the past, but if you'll give me another chance..."
