Any answer would be dependent on what you do with and how you drive the tractor.
If you use it for loader work, that severally shortens the life span.
If you ride the clutch that will do it.
If you have a PTO implement that uses a lot of force that will do it too.
Not uncommon to have to put a clutch in a tractor that old.

Operator dependent. I have seen 50-60 year old tractors ( actually about anything) high hours never having replaced a clutch. Also have done clutches in 2-4 year old low hours were operators probably need a lesson on how not to slip a clutch…. Its either in or out not a variable switch. Other things like bad throw out bearings or debris… moisture.. oil leaks.. improper adjustment your clutch probably will have a short life span. Keep your foot off pedal and use throttle to control your tractor. 👍
