John Deere 5065E Engine Rebuild Part 1

This is a first-person, first-timer engine rebuild on a 5065E with low compression (~150 PSI), documented step by step with a John Deere service manual in hand. Part 1 covers teardown only: removing the radiator, turbocharger, rocker assembly, push rods, water pump, thermostat, and injectors, with torque values logged before pulling the cylinder head. Good for owners considering a DIY rebuild who want real teardown detail, not results yet.

Posted by an owner doing his own rebuild for the first time, learning alongside the viewer rather than presenting expert credentials.
