1/2 inch belt or 5/8

murray 465306x8a drive/motion belt calls for a 37 x112ma. I looked up  this belt and it is a 5/8. I have a 1/2 inch belt on hand. Any problem running the 1/2 inch until I get the 5/8 belt delivered/ thanks

    Shouldn't hurt anything but you may have some slipping.  
     
    Less surface area of the thinner belt  / pulleys..
