How to get Node component in linked list?

Question

Learnt how to reverse-a-linked-list. The link is very descriptive and clear. But somehow I'm not getting how to get the Node component which needs to be passed to below method. I did not find any method under LinkedList to get the Node. Sorry for asking dumb question but everywhere on net, it's assumed we have the Node component, and then program starts from there

public void recursiveReverse(Node currentNode ){
    ...
}

You'll have to write your own LinkedList class from scratch to implement that method. java.util.LinkedList doesn't expose its internal implementation. For example, the nodes are called entries instead, and that class, java.util.LinkedList.Entry, is private.
