I have done this....drill/tap end of rod for a separate threaded stud (grade 8) for the yoke to screw onto. The big question is the hardness of the rod and if it can be threaded. A tap (HSS) may not be hard enough but single point CNC threading with a carbide tool may cut it.

Thanks for the reply ! So essentially you would bottom the new male thread into the newly threaded rod, and the née end screws onto that ?

Yes, and use locktite.

I wanted to circle back and post my repair solution. I investigated welding it back together but there just was not enough room and no one felt like it would hold. I checked with a few shops and the price was not going to be worth repairing but the member here @wdchyd had reached out and offered to help if I couldn’t get it done locally. Bill offered insight and assistance through out the process of trying to come
Up with a solution ans I ended up shipping both my cylinders to him at his shop in New Hampshire , Curtis hydraulics . I had sent an email just to see if he received the cylinders and he had already welded up the cracked ends and made a new rod for the cylinder that snapped, found correct seas and was preparing to send them back all for less than half the cost of a new cylinder.
This forum has helped me solve many problems and the information has been very helpful. This particular member really went above and beyond to help me fix this and I really appreciate it, thanks Bill!
